http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1381552i contacted the operator of the site, as i mentioned in the orig thread to determine if he was real or if the site was a satire. i was polite & ambiguous in my email, since i saw no reason to tweak this monkey's leash (i'll leave that up to his love-interest)
here's his response:
"Greetings! So sorry to take so long to email back. I'm buried in work and
trying to get to all the emails in order. I'll be honest with you, and
hopefully you won't be too disappointed or put off. In all reality, I don't
consider myself either. (*in response to my question, re:political leanings*)
Now I know that tends to piss people off, because it appears that since you
don't take sides, you have no room to speak. I'm sorry, I just don't look at
it that way. But thats just me, personally speaking.
Ok, with that outta the way. Since you asked and were polite about it, I'll
give you the quick breakdown. Hopefully it may shed some light on things.
Do I advocate torture because I support Lynndie. Of course not. I've been
the victim of violent crime and I know what ones goes through. I've seen bad
suffering first hand, it's not pretty. Was I at Abu Grahib prison? No. Have
I talked with Lynndie and her lawyers? No. Do I think I'm a legal expert and
pretend to have all the answers? No. Have I talked to any of the mistreated
prisoners? No. If my country was invaded and I was captured, would I hope
for good treatment? Yes. For some twisted reason do I think Lynndie is hot?
Yes. Am I into S&M? No. Would I still lick her boots if she asked me to?
Maybe. Now here's the important question; Do I want to have coffee with her
in the nude? Yes. (but she has to at least wear her boonie hat)
And finaly, do I have a little extra time on my hands and a blank, free
website? Yes.
Ok...thats the jist of that. Amazing, huh? Things are not as complex as they
appear. Whew!
As far as the Michael Moore stuff goes...please consider the following (If
you're still with me)
You hate war? Fine. You hate Bush? Fine. You vote? Fine. You don't vote?
Fine. You're a GOP? Fine. You're a DEM? Fine. You want to abuse your freedom
of speech? Fine. You want to promote hate? Fine. You want to hate your
neighbor because they're a diff religion? Fine. I could go on...it's all
legal.
And there are volunteers, dying right now as I type, to protect all of the
above.
I remember the morning of Sept 11th like a vile, sickening dream. I awoke so
angry and like a lot of people, I thought attacks like this may be happening
around the country. Even though I'm well armed, I felt somewhat helpless. I
don't EVER want to go through that again.
Then I find out about the Michael Moore film. I know all about his use of
propaganda. I've seen his other films. He hates Bush and thats fine. But
what he did, in my opinion, was sucker punch this country for a second time.
By means of self serving propaganda. I've studied WWII and all it's events
since I was child. You want expert advice on the basic in's and out's or
propaganda? Let me know.
I compare him to Hitler because unfortunately, I know a lot about his rise
to power in the 20's and 30's. I could go on and on and on. But I won't. You
probably have the jist by now.
I don't let myself get into usless debates concerning such things anymore.
I've read too many books, and know enough to avoid "one sided documentaries"
when I see them. Sept. 11th wasn't funny in the slightest bit. That's why
It's used against him. Call it stooping to his own level if you want. I call
it fighting fire with fire. It sucks, but someone has to do it. He makes
films, but won't answer for them in public. He turns down challenges and
runs and hides. Him and his supporters become easily aggitated and soon
start frothing at the mouth. Marching in streets with banners and pounding
on pulpits. Sound familiar?
Attack this country physically or mentally, it's all good. Only thing is?
People are going to fight back. I have no problem being responsible for my
own actions. Moore is a coward...he is typical. But thats his right...and
I'll fight to keep it. The first amendment was first for a reason...I wonder
why?
Well, sorry to carry one. Just trying to answer your question the best I
can. Did you know Moore won't respond to any of his emails? Once again...I
wonder why.
Sincerely,
altehase"
my guess is this guy is a "libertarian", leaning WAY to the right. a psych profile of this individual wd make interesting reading, but i think i'd feel the need to shower thoroughly after reading it.
the lynndie fixation is real; i don't get it, but, thank yahweh, i don't have to.
